Firsthand Experience

I wrote this for my boyfriend awhile ago. He had lived two houses down from me during our childhood, so we literally grew up together. Then when I was 10, my family and I moved to Florida... He was out of town visiting his mom so I never got to say goodbye.
Eight years later I found him on Facebook and we hit it off.
I cherish everyday I'm with him.

Twelve years ago We couldn't comprehend What love was firsthand But kids change and grow

At 10 I left you behind You wondered why I never said good bye But I didn't leave your mind

At 18 I found you again And this I swear You became my prayer And my sweet amen
